The Maharashtra Government Plans To Rename Mumbai Airport And Twitter Loses Its Sh*t

A few months back when Gurgaon was renamed Gurugram, people across Delhi and the NCR had the time of their lives bashing the decision left, right and centre and making fun of how people will now become ‘gurugrammers’. Well, following their footsteps, this time around the Maharashtra government has announced that Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus will be renamed.

Now if you were expecting fancy names and such, sorry to burst the bubble, but these names are changed to incorporate ‘Maharaj’. So, now the airport will be called Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the station will be called Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.

The government says this move is to pay more respect to the Maratha warrior king, Shivaji. Now, while the idea behind this move is not wrong, but changing names does not mean that people paid less respect to the legendary warrior earlier! After this announcement, Twitter lost it’s sh*t completely and some of the reactions are outright hilarious.
